Your ballooning adventure begins
in the cool pre dawn darkness as you are picked up from your accommodation
in Alice Springs. During the 15-minute drive to our desert launch
site you will get to know the crew as they make final weather checks
and explain the routine for the morning. At the launch site gas burners
are used to inflate the balloons just as the sun lights up the rugged
MacDonnell Ranges. Once floating gently in
the air you will appreciate the vast remoteness of the Australian
Outback. Wildlife, particularly big red kangaroos are seen nearly
every day as the balloon crosses spinifex grasses, mulga scrub and
cattle stations.
After landing you may become involved in assisting the crew or taking photographs as we pack the nylon balloon back into its bag. We will then break open the champagne and tropical fruit juice to celebrate your flight. This will be accompanied by a selection of muesli biscuits, exotic slices, cheese and fresh fruit in the silent remote bush where you landed. You will also have the opportunity to purchase photographs taken earlier in the morning. A range of Outback Ballooning souvenirs are also available.
Transfers back to your hotel, the airport or another
tour, and a commemorative flight certificate completes your morning
with Outback Ballooning.
